This book is a sort of the guide book to build a new concept of friendship, proposing the way to make a friend for the first time, how to build good friendship, and eventually how to handle the separation. The writer, Seol Heun, who received the Best Award in the 1st Changbi Youth Book Award with his debut work of ‘I came here to play since I’m cool’, created the 11 principles that we have to follow in friendship by adding his own past events and stories of the classic literature, movies, and the ancient myth.

Based on the story of an uncle, who is not that good at maintaining friendship and his middle school student nephew, who also has difficulty in making friends, we would be able to set up our own principles about friendship, just like characters in this book while reading the principles one by one. Unlike the existing books focusing on study technique, career, entrance to school, etc, this book provides an opportunity to seriously think about what friends and friendship mean to youth readers, who are having a hard life in study. Furthermore, adult readers would be able to reflect on not just their time when they used to be teenagers but also themselves whether they share genuine friendship with current friends through this book.
